sails-hook-typescript

Installation

npm install sails-hook-typescript

Usage

requires at least sails >= 0.11

Just lift your app as normal, and when you add / change / remove a TypeScript file inside assets/js, the file will be re-compiled and the browser will be reloaded (if you have Live Reload) without having to lower / relift the app.

Configuration

By default, configuration lives in sails.config.typescript. The configuration key (typescript) can be changed by setting sails.config.hooks['sails-hook-typescript'].configKey.
